He was overtaking someone while honking, possibly after being overtaken by that driver previously. We didn’t understand what was happening in detail and didn’t address it during drop-off as there was a driver change in Prost.

Arnulf

Arnulf is not a good driver. He was far too fast going through Kattfjordeidet, with the bus suspension doing overtime. Even I was getting a motion sickness feeling. I asked him multiple times to slow down, getting more stern as we went on, but he just grunted and ignored me. Same on return, was very uncomfortable and didn't listen. Doesn't listen about the lights either, and does them as and when he pleases. On return blasted bright lights with no warning, meaning an unpleasant wake up for the guests with no warning on the mic as is usual.

Emil is a super driver, full of excitement for the NL! Might be good to have a word about discretion however, as during the chase back he stopped the bus and turned the lights off in the middle of the road to check if he could see NL.

There was not much time with Bjorn to say much. Seems to drive well, but did not slow down before taking the turn to parking which made it not smooth. Again there was an issue with the lights but because he doesn't know how to keep the lights around the bus off while the engine is working. Seems that is an issue that needs to be addressed if we keep chasing with the JBV BB.

Robert
Jonas
Robert is kind and helpful but his driving is quite annoying. The way he steps on the gas pedal and a few seconds later lifts his foot makes for very jerky driving, the sad thing is he does it constantly, throughout the whole ride, weather he is alone on the road in helligskogen or the road is wide in LVD. He also seem to be afraid of the right side of the road, always keeping to the left, this almost gets a bit dangerous when meeting trucks but also smaller cars, where the road is a bit more narrow. Just as he is about to meet a vehicle he swerve left, as if he just realised he is driving too close to the side of the road (when he in fact has a meter of road to his right), this feels unsafe. He makes big “micro adjustments” to the steering wheel All The Time which ads to the driving feeling jerky and uncomfortable. Someone pressed the “stop” button and so the “STOPPAR” message was shining the whole way there and back and also the radiators where cold there and back despite me asking him to turn on the Webasto. He is good with the lights in the bus :+1:

He seems bewildered at points, and was always asking 'so we're staying here now?' every time we stopped and seemed shocked whenever we moved somewhere. He also made a very sketchy overtaking maneuver on a bend in Fagernes, which I mentioned to him.

Communication needs to be clear, any requests need to be very straight but well explained like where to park, direction, position on the parking lot, lights and as so. Regardless, he will do his best to attend the requests.
When we decided to come back, trying to reverse the bus out of the parking, it took quite some time and a lot of back and forward even with the guides helping outside. I feel Robert got a bit nervous with the situation and I needed to be in front of him telling him when to turn the wheel.

We explained him that sometimes guests arrive earlier and we need him to be at the time we ask. At the end of the day, he drove well and was quite friendly

There was a descent gap between the door and the frame, which gave us a very loud noise for the whole trip and it was absolutely obvious that something is not ok with the vehicle.

The new Boreal bus is OK.

Drivers don’t seemed to be trained in this new bus before. Lack of a guide seat is inconvenient.

Bit of an issue heating the back of the bus as cold air seemed to be blowing in from vents, and the language barrier made this hard to resolve. The way to fix this seemed to be to crank up the heating in front and let it passively reach the rest of the bus.

At some points he was quite rude with an abrupt announcement on seatbelts over the mic even after we'd checked seatbelts ourselves, and 'told off' a group at the end for wearing spikes in the bus.

It’s not fun to work with Eugen. He is making clear in front of guests that he does not like to do this job, he had better life in Bergen. In the middle of my presentation he is interrupting me loudly, asking aggressively if I’m done, because he gets dizzy from the lights inside of the bus. I just overall have the feeling that he doesn’t care about the guests or the tour at all.

Right before departure, Ragnar told us he wouldn't go anywhere other than Breivikeidet or Skibotn, despite the team's plan to go to the coast. This didn't seem to be based on the actual forecast, which showed N Ringva as less windy than Breivikeidet, and chatting to him later it seems he was basing this off experience in these areas rather than the forecast.
Despite Breivikeidet working well, I still don't like how this went down. The driver should be aware that we wouldn't go anywhere that would risk safety, and the fact that the driver can overrule a decision made by the team and enforce limitations on us, based seemingly on anecdotal experience, doesn't sit right with me. We ran a real risk tonight of being the only team to not see something based on going the opposite direction, and I don't think getting lucky with gaps changed that.
I think it was also made 'worse' by Ragnar mentioning at the end that he was chatting to Aslak (Michiel's driver) and Aslak told him they hadn't seen anything, so Ragnar was then going 'you should always listen to me' etc etc, essentially 'I told you so'.

Stole

Today Boreal sent Stole to drive for us. Honestly, he was one of the best drivers I've had from Boreal. Stole was helpful, kind, understanding and a good and safe driver. However, the vehicle could have been a bit more tidy. There were lots of stuff in the overhead compartments which we didn't need - thermal suit, bright yellow jacket, a big tripod, bags, etc. It was a bit tricky for the guests to fit their belogings up there.

Zibi from Boreal was a bit quircky, he sat in the guides seat with his feet in the air most of the night watching stuff on his phone on speaker. I don't think it affected the guests much though.
He was also quite particular about a place to turn the bus around and drove by really large areas where any other driver would have turned around. He was quite defensive about that when I asked at certain points if we could turn around here so I just let him do his thing. Didn't affect the tour much.
Overall he drove well.

Some Borealis drivers are a mess. it is a lottery and the way they come in with their demands is both unprofessional and makes the tour harder to run.
Ragnar is generally a nice guy, but he likes to start the tour with "let me explain what is allowed in my bus" attitude. He asked me to sit in the chair and have a seatbelt on all the time. So my presentation was awkward. But then I know, he is right, the law, the law.
Then he also said that we can't use the front row, as he is afraid to get covid. I had to count the seats to figure that the bus had 57 seats. Take away the front row and we would be left with 53, which is exactly how many guests we had. So we had to convince him to let us use the seats, to which he agreed, but still wanted me to sit behind him.
He ran the engine the whole night non stop. The guests came and complained that the bus in the back is a sauna. I had no comments, asked them to take the jackets off.
Later, another Borealis BB pulled in. I spoke with the guide and we got nice separation. As we were about to make a fire, Ragnar came and said that another Borealis BB might come and that we should plan our night and fire so that there is space for them too. But then it might not show up, so he left it to us. I then decided to make a fire closer to our bus.
Then the other driver came over as we were making a fire and called us idiots as we were making it too close to the entrance to the bus. I told him to mind his business, as he was rude. But then he went to our driver and made him concerned about the fire. Then Ragnar came and made an announcement how if the fire alarm goes off in the bus, we would have to kill the fire. Then the two started moving our boxes and people and they were getting ready to move the bus without letting us know. They turned it around and the entrance was exatcly the same distance to the fire. The wind was all over the place, so it did seem pointless. In my opinion the fire was far enough and the guests were blocking the smoke either way. I would have been happy to talk to my driver and come up with a solution, but at that point it was just annoying.
The other driver was staying in our bus for most of the evening chatting with Ragnar. I hope I never meet the guy on one of my tours.

Had a great time with the guests but because of Per it’s not a TA night.
Per: The man has a general spirit of being nice but he was tough to work around. He didn’t want to reverse to the parking for packing. His driving though town was very slow and insecure. During my introduction of the guests he quite awkwardly commented that he has lived in Rio. After my presentation I asked him to turn off the blue light and he accidentally opened the door as we drove 80 km/h on E8. He agreed to turning off the car for two shorter periods in the beginning of the night but then he had enough, didn’t want to get cold so he said there will be no more stopping of the engine. I offered a suit for him to stay warm but he didn’t want it. I talked to his boss and we agreed that next night he will have to be better dressed as we should be able to turn off the car for periods of the night. When he heard that 2x Chenghong live at penguin hotel he offered to drop them off there on the way to his garage, that was nice.

Zibi

Boreal driver Zibi was great, no complaints there. But the MB was problematic. The lights only turn off when the engine is off and the vehicle is locked. So that means that you can't really have the MB standing nearby keeping warm for guests to return to as they please. When we arrived at the parking, our MB really interfered with Alex in BB and Marieke in MB's photos and we couldn't really do anything about it until we were all out of the bus and ready to go to our camp spot. Then Zibi drove 2 minutes away from us down the road when we're stopped so that he could keep the van warm and not create artificial light. When 2 guests wanted to get back on the bus I had to call Zibi to come back and then leave the parking again with the guests, whilst we continued at our camp spot. It didn't make a huge impact this evening and no-one in the group seemed to mind, but it could be problematic on a very cold night, where you need to keep the van warm and nearby.

Aslak is an interesting guy with a few red flags about him. Smooth driving all night, but later in the night, he started off jokingly saying he won't stop again, but he became more serious as time went on, and I feel that if we did have reports of stronger lights on the way back, he genuinely wouldn't have stopped the bus. He was already reluctant to stop before Kilpisjärvi on the way back.
He wasn't paying much attention to the door through the night, and guests would knock on the door to be let in and he seemed to ignore it for a second, quite a few occasions I had to go over and press the button, even though he was sat in the drivers seat.
On the way back, he was loudly discussing how much he hates Russians for a minute, before I managed to move the subject on. Closer to Tromsø he was discussing a bridge being built, and suddenly came out with a very anti-immigrant sentiment which I did not appreciate.

During arrival at Sommarøy we were parking next to another BB, and when we were discussing this with Ragnar, he snapped at Meda, saying "I'm the driver and I know best, I will not have this discussion with you" in an angry tone, very much in front of the guests. I think he's a great driver and very safe, but this marred my opinion of him significantly.

It was my first time working with Greger from Boreal, and I didn't feel safe at 2 separate points tonight. First was when we were on the way to Grunnfjord, as I asked him to turn the high beams off so I could see the sky more clearly. He had already done this a few times, but this time he turned off all the lights and we were driving blind for a couple of seconds, resulting in a few audible gasps from the back.
The second was worse, during the drive back. His phone rang and he swiped it away, and I thought he was declining, however he then took his hand off the wheel and attention away from the road to grab his headphones, all while we were approaching a curve at speed. He quickly darted back to the wheel and gained control again, but it was a worrying moment, and at this point I was genuinely scared, but I don't think any guests noticed this time.
A few times when I came to the bus to check on guests or get equipment he was sleeping, and I had to wake him to get equipment out. He's a very nice guy, but the above points overshadowed that.

Aslak from Boreal was nice and drove smoothly.
We could turn off all lights outside the bus, but after a looong delay, so not so easy to be reactive and take pictures, right off the bus. And it’s pretty much always cold inside the bus as the back is not separated from the guests seats. The guests ventilation was also blowing cold air and when I mentionned it to Aslak, he just said that it was the same last night and no one complained. I had a knowing glance with one of the guest, and we let it go.

Since my driver from Boreal didn't know how to stir drytech and I didn't trust him to do it by himself, I stirred all of them in the guide dressing room while the guests got changed and went to the bus where they had lunch on the drive back.

Åge arrived on time (8:28) with a clean and tidy MB.
In the beginning it was hard to communicate with him. I would ask him a question, he would give me an answer and then act in a different way. For example "Can I talk with the guests while standing up? Yes, a little. Great, we can drive then (the bus stand still..) Åge, we can go. Okay! (still stands still) Åge, should I sit down? Yes, I can't drive with you standing up. It happened in front of the guests and was a bit awkward. However, throughout the day our communication became better and it was nice to work with him. He's a kind, helpful person and a good driver. He also knows the area very well, since he grew up in Ersfjordbotn.
